In places where grazing land is limited, goats can thrive on fodder grown and collected by the family. Zero-grazing pens for goats help protect the environment, allow for easier goat manure collection, keep the animals safe from harm and disease, and free up valuable time for farm families.

Heifer Black Friday Deals

Are you gearing up to go on the hunt for great Black Friday deals? Want to save yourself some trouble and avoid the trampling crowds this year? Ever thought about giving someone a goat? A goat is a great gift for anyone on your shopping list.


Heifer Has the Best Black Friday Deals

Okay, so we’re not running any discounts or BOGOs. That wouldn’t exactly be fair to our project participants. But I challenge you to find a deal on a gift at a big retail store that will delight your loved one AND change a hungry family’s life.

Aside from being my very favorite farm animal (why are they so awesome?), goats are the ultimate deal. Did you know more people in the world drink goats milk than cows milk? It’s no accident. Goats milk is easier to digest because its milk fats are smaller. Goats are also considerably easier to keep because of their compact size. Mama goats can have two to three goat kids per year for several years, which can be sold for profit or kept to quickly increase a family’s herd size.

But don’t just take it from me. Take it from one of our Heifer Haiti project participants:

I am Deinage Pierre Gelerme. I am 54 years old and married with seven children: five sons and two daughters. Some of them go to school and some don’t. We don’t have enough money to send them all to school.

I received four female goats from Heifer. Two of them are pregnant. Not only did Heifer give me the goats, they also trained me on how to take care of them. I am taking good care of them now. With these goats, I hope to improve my life economically and feed my family better than before. I am very appreciative for the distribution of goats in my community. It is a good way to fight hunger and nutrition problems in the area.

So skip the lines and chaos this Friday, and shop Heifer for your Black Friday deals.
